Description: A discussion with Director Sydney Parks Smith about OpenStage Theatre & Company's production of “Avenue Q”. Also joining the show is The Bad News Bears, Natalie Santelli and Bas Meindertsma. Avenue Q - Winner of the 2004 Tony Award “Triple Crown” (Best Score, Best Book, Best Musical) Book by Jeff Whitty, Music and Lyrics by Jeff Marx and Robert Lopez. This laugh-out-loud musical tells the story of a bright-eyed college grad who goes to New York City with big dreams and a tiny bank account. Moving to the only place he can afford - all the way out on Avenue Q - he meets an odd assortment of offbeat friends who struggle to find jobs, dates, and an ever-elusive purpose in life. Filled with gut-busting humor, biting satire, and a delightfully catchy score. STAGES is a regular series produced by FC Public Media that features performance venues, productions and their creators within the City of Fort Collins, CO.
